So, you're walking around on the world map, and there comes that flash that signifies that you're under attack. Get ready for another random encounter! Except, what's this? Seems you're not in any danger after all. Congratulations, you've just run into a Fairy Battle.
Occasionally showing up in role playing games, the fairy battle is something that makes itself look like a battle, but turns out to be, well, something else.
Compare Pop Quiz, Helpful Mook.
Not to be confused with a Fairey Battle, Shin Megami Tensei (where the title can be taken literally), or a battle with The Fair Folk.

Shin Megami Tensei IV has the first encounter with Mastema. He threatens you, the boss theme starts playing... nah, he's just trolling you. He lets you pass without incident.

The Pig Noise in The World Ends with You have distinctive green scan symbols and don't attack, instead trying to simply escape by running offscreen. You are guaranteed a usually rare or high-value, occasionally unique item drop if you defeat them before they get away, although the means of defeating them vary from pig to pig.

There's also the Bulky Vendor in the sequel, whose HP goes down all by itself after it appears. By using a Reaction Command on it, depending on how low its HP is (the lower the better), it'll drop an assortment of munny, health/magic/drive replenishing items, and an item or two that can be used for synthesis.

Final Fantasy XII's Magic Pots just want to be given Elixirs... assuming you can actually find them first. And assuming you switch off your party's Gambits+ or have them tuned to only target enemies targeting the party so you don't accidentally attack them, because you will really regret it if you do.

In the game Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller, selecting a person (all represented by a triangle with a circle on top) talks to them. Usually this challenges that person to a duel... unless it is the Dark Magician Girl, who will instead give you a rare card.

The battles of Undertale are so unorthodox as is that an encounter where your regular interface is useless or inaccessible to progress is not a wildly unusual situation at all, and the battle start animation is used more than once before entering a mock Dating Sim interface with a friendly character instead. The game does play the trope completely straight as you are traveling through New Home to meet with Asgore and various monsters along the way take it in turns to reveal the backstory of Asgore's son Asriel to you, with each chunk of the story being presented in the format of a random encounter fight screen. The entire sequence is startlingly emotional, considering the unorthodox presentation. In a Genocide Run, this sequence of quasi-encounters is replaced with a cynical rant from Flowey. A more sinister version is found in if you kill enough enemies in a particular zone: all random encounters in that zone will be replaced with the ominous message, "But nobody came." With fittingly ominous music to boot.

One encounter in Neverwinter Nights 2 is a literal Fairy Battle. With fairies. You can still kill them if you want to, but they are just pranksters and will reward you if you play along.

In Dragon Age: Origins you can occasionally encounter a dwarven vendor as a "random battle" when travelling on the map.
Since all the Random Encounters are actually scripted, as you finish sidequests he effectively becomes the only "random battle" near the end of the game. Which wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't accompanied by Audible Sharpness and the crossed-swords icon appearing.

Kingdom Hearts has White Mushrooms, which reward you for hitting them with whatever spell corresponds to their miming act; and blue mushrooms called Rare Truffles that reward you for juggling them in mid-air, without them touching the ground.

The Legend of Zelda:
You'd be forgiven for thinking this trope was named for Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, where fairies occasionally pop up on the World Map alongside normal Wandering Monsters, and touching one sends Link to a "battle" screen with nothing but a healing fairy hovering in midair. An easy way to avoid random encounters when low on health in the same game is to move onto a road tile after the Random Encounters pops up. Being touched by an enemy while standing on a road takes you to a one-screen wide sideview area with no enemies that can be left by simply walking off-screen.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has Jellyfish that occasionally pop out of the water, but do not attack, and can be shot for free Rupees. They return in the Ocean sector map of Spirit Tracks.

In the Fallout series, it's quite common for random encounters to set you up against... a travelling merchant? A rave party in the wilderness? Doctor Who? How dangerous random encounters are depends on your "Luck" stat and, to a lesser degree, the Outdoorsman skillnote The Luck stat affects probabilities for which encounter is encountered, while Outdoorsman affects which random encounters you get the option to avoid or enter at your discretion.

The Haunted Ruins: There's a few.
There's the mice, which, when encountered, are just spoken to.
The wizards give a spell when encountered, then disappear. Once you get all the spells, they're encountered in a floor filled with them, where they're used to give backstory.

Final Fantasy IX is the Trope Namer, whose theme song for such encounters is aptly named "Fairy Battle". The monsters in question appear similar to ordinary monsters, but with slight differences, and they do not attack you. Some just ask for a specific type of gem, and there's even one that just gives you a pop quiz! The "Fairy Battles" were a requirement to be able to physically attack a side quest boss.
There is another monster called the Gimme Cat that pretends to be friendly and demands a rare gemstone from you. However, instead of the Fairy Battle theme playing, it's the standard random encounter battle theme, which should tip you off. If you actually give the monster your diamond, it'll run away after mocking you and you gain nothing from it. If you attack it, it will fight back.

In Mother 3, there's an enemy called the "Walking Bushie" that casts Lifeup on the main characters in battle and never attacks. After a few rounds of healing, the bush walks away, ending battle. If you attack the bush, it runs away without healing you.
EarthBound Beginnings featured an enemy called Groucho. While it could attack you, if you let it live, it would say "Hello" and then leave, giving a random party member a fair experience bonus.

Final Fantasy IV had something like this. If you walk around in the developers' room you'll run into random encounters with monsters named after developers. You can fight them, but they don't do much to you besides talk.
"Magic Pots" first appeared in Final Fantasy V, where they asked the player to Give Me Your Inventory Item, and variations of them appear in most subsequent games. This entry also had a Hidden Elf Village that was randomly encountered in a certain patch of forest, with the usual Fight Woosh (though this effect was somewhat spoiled in the remakes, which altered the Fight Woosh for actual battles, but not the one for the village, making it obvious that something was fishy).
Final Fantasy VI's Magic Pots simply ask for Elixirs... while using Elixirs on you.
Final Fantasy VIII had the first Pop Quiz encounter, plus later encounters with PuPu.
Final Fantasy IX is the Trope Namer, whose theme song for such encounters is aptly named "Fairy Battle".

If you actually give the monster your diamond, it'll run away after mocking you and you gain nothing from it. If you attack it, it will fight back.
Final Fantasy X: You can encounter fiends called Magic Pots in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth; instead of attacking you, they tell you to select an eye on their pot to hit; if you hit the correct eyes, you get increasingly rare and useful items. Hitting the wrong one will lead to it exploding for large damage, but try to steal from it and... well...
Specifically, Steal, Mug, Doublecast, Wakka's Attack Reels Overdrive, and Kimahri's Self-Destruct Overdrive all trigger the significantly stronger explosion.
Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess has Sprites appearing in the past. They spawn like normal mobs, but actually use spells helpful to players. Even Raise!
Final Fantasy XII's Magic Pots just want to be given Elixirs... assuming you can actually find them first.

The Legend of Dragoon has a "boss fight" in an early dungeon (the Shrine of Shirley) which is actually just a series of questions about your party's motivations and so forth. Just Guard in between each question to heal all the damage you took during the normal boss fight right beforehand.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in the ruins near Petalburg, there is a Thwomp who, despite appearing to be a mini-boss, actually just gives you a pop quiz. If you lose, however, he does make you fight a handful of enemies.

In Phantasy Star Zero, you may occasionally come across a group of Rappies, who are much less aggressive than most monsters. They also come with their own, more upbeat battle theme.

Kingdom of Loathing: The "Rampaging Adding Machine" borders on this. It's also an enemy, but it mainly exists to combine scrolls.

BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm:
There’s a big ring of flowers along the road between two sites in Chapter 6. If you walk around inside the ring for a few moments, you’ll enter a random encounter with a pile of enchanted gold, and defeating it will net you a rare Bitcoin.
The final dungeon has the eerie “Unheard Plea” enemy, who sometimes shows up alongside other enemies and casts healing spells on your party.

Kingdom Hearts:
Kingdom Hearts has White Mushrooms, which reward you for hitting them with whatever spell corresponds to their miming act; and blue mushrooms called Rare Truffles that reward you for juggling them in mid-air, without them touching the ground. Subverted with Black Fungi, which do attack you and behave more like Metal Slimes.
There's also the Bulky Vendor in the sequel, whose HP goes down all by itself after it appears. By using a Reaction Command on it, depending on how low its HP is (the lower the better), it'll drop an assortment of munny, health/magic/drive replenishing items, and an item or two that can be used for synthesis.
And Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has a special rare encounter where sometimes, in certain preset locations, you might encounter an enemy variant that does nothing but drop ice cream components for you. These can be traded in for ice cream, which only have tangental use. Though, it eventually rewards you with a Lethal Joke Weapon of a Keyblade.

EarthBound Beginnings featured an enemy called Groucho. While it could attack you, if you let it live, it would say "Hello" and then leave, giving a random party member a fair experience bonus.
